Between 1994 and 2023, thermal tolerances—the combination of temperature and humidity—above which the human body can’t cope were breached for about 2% of the global land area for healthy adults (18 to 60). This new research approximately triples the “overheated land” to 6% of the Earth—an area almost the size of the United States
